The opening match of Matchday 17 in the Premier League will be played at St James’ Park, where Newcastle United face Chelsea.
Newcastle United, who seemed to be closing in on the upper part of the table, stumbled in the previous round, suffering a 1–0 away defeat to Sunderland. After 17 matches, Newcastle sit 12th in the league standings with 22 points.
Chelsea are pushing hard to keep pace with the Premier League’s top three—Arsenal, Manchester City, and Aston Villa. Finally, after a run of disappointing results, the London side secured a confident 2–0 victory over Everton last week.

Prediction for the Newcastle United vs Chelsea
Newcastle United are a solid team, well known for their strong performances at home—not long ago they defeated Manchester City 2–1 at St James’ Park. However, Chelsea are steadily gaining momentum from match to match, helped significantly by the return of team leader Cole Palmer from injury. I expect a tough contest for both sides, but Chelsea should come out on top, so the recommended bet is a Chelsea win.
